Somebody in the thread at some point said:
| Is there any way to switch the audio path to some file output?
| i.e. can I (potentially) record "buzz" without an active GSM connection
| ( while irradiating the phone from an external HF source )
| would be cheaper and easier to set up that way.

Werner pointed out yesterday to a guy asking the same thing that

/usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/capturehandset.state

should be the thing.

As far as I know, nobody yet tested this with buzz and so confirmed that
the effective buzz problem actually comes at the MIC inputs to WM8753.

| Could someone with the device open place 100Ohm resistor in series with
| 3/4pF from  the mic line to GND and test it? ( instead of the ferrite
bead.
|
| Is the trace in the top layer of the pcb or is it burried?

I don't have gerber layer data, but the bead was placed in series with
headphone jack p4, it should be possible to try.

But I don't have 3.. 4 pF caps lying around, I order some for tomorrow.
